Austin police are investigating a "suspicious death" near the Samsung plant in Northeast Austin.

A 911 caller reported a car sitting off the roadway along Samsung Blvd near Sprinkle Cutoff around 12:20am Monday morning. When police arrived to investigate, they found a man in his thirties dead inside.

Originally, police ruled the death a traffic fatality. However, investigators changed that to a "suspicious death" after finding trauma on the victim's body not consistent with a traffic accident.
